CARPE VINUM 2019 Star Springs Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon – Alexander Valley, Sonoma | 750mL

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential expression of mountain fruit, a generosity of fruit, a backbone of crunch acidity, and an abundance of flavor that bends the rules of drinkability and age-worthiness. On the nose, you find a tango between red fruit - ripe red plum, raspberry, and boysenberry and mature fruit expressions , stewed strawberries and rhubarb jam. Sitting at two years in 60% new French oak, the tannins are incredibly subtle, and the plate follows suit with crunchy and silky red fruits. A steady undercurrent of fennel teases at the finish with a crisp acidity that leaves the palate refreshed rather than fatigued. Drink it now and drink it often.
